ASA Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution mission take off from Cape Canaveral Air Force station located in Florida. It will reach the planet till 8 p.m MDT sept 21 2014. This missionary began last year in 18 Novemeber and scientists are expecting this mission to cease in a year’s time.
According to Bruce Jakosky, principal investigator on the mission, presently the spacecraft is functioning perfectly and they are not facing any sort of troubles. Furthermore, he said that they want 1.5 months, to develop themselves, before the entry of the spaceship on the planet.
Scientists would be capable to present a report long after the entrance of MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution mission). In that report they will provide some insight about the atmosphere of the higher partion of the planet and how the spaceship reacted with the sun and solar wind. This minor experiment will tell them how much gas spaceship utilized during this time period.
The primary purpose of this research is to figure out where the water and carbon dioxide went since it was present in the atmosphere earlier. Therefore, they constructed this instrument with a remote sensing package designed by LASP which will find out the characteristics of the Martian upper atmosphere and ionsphere.
On this journey MAVEN will come into contact with a celestial interloper. The interloper is known as comet Siding Spring and it was invented in Australia in January 2013
